I have a mixed house when it comes to feelings about reading. James thinks reading is ok, but he doesn’t want to read aloud and its hard to find books he loves. Madilyne can’t stop finding stuff she wants to read, and she’d rather I read with her then anything else. Ansel has just started the oooing and aahing over books. I do not have very many board books since I gave away most of them after Madilyne out grew them, Haha fast forward four years and now we have no books for Ansel, DOH!

When Melissa contacted me about a review I was over the moon excited. I have a hard time paying for the over commercialized books, Madilyne loves Barbie, but I’d rather she be reading something with a little more meat to chew if you will.

I started browsing the books at Melissa’s Barefoot Reading Rug and they were all so adorable, they all looked like they would make us very happy! One problem, I couldn’t choose who to get a book for. I mean my first thought was for Ansel since he didn’t have any books, but then I thought Madilyne because she loves to read, and then I thought James because there were some awesome choices for his age range….

The final choice? I let Melissa choose haha! I told her that way I can’t get blamed for picking one over the other. She surprised me and in my mail I received 3 fabulous books, one for each of my children. That was so generous of her, and I am sold!

We received a cute board book for Ansel called Secret Seahorse,

We also received a nice paper back book for Madilyne called Elephant Dance,

and a fantastic hard back book for James calld The Adventures Of Odysseus.

All well bound, beautifully illustrated, and authored. The best part was they were not the common overly commercialized stories. These are books we will all enjoy together time and again.

The customer service was fantastic, shipping time was nearly non-existent, I can’t say enough about this product! The only downside I can think of is well I want more!

My favorite product in Melissa's store is the book with CD story "The Real Princess ~ A Mathemagical Tale". Love that my daughter can listen to it on her own plus we do a math lesson on it after reading it :0) themaces@frontier.com
